MFS TECHNOLOGY FUND Q1 16 Glossary Alpha is a measure of the portfolio's riskadjusted performance. When compared to the portfolio's beta, a positive alpha indicates better-than-expected portfolio performance and a negative alpha worse-than-expected portfolio performance. Beta is a measure of the volatility of a portfolio relative to the overall market. A beta less than 1.0 indicates lower risk than the market; a beta greater than 1.0 indicates higher risk than the market. It is most reliable as a risk measure when the return fluctuations of the portfolio are highly correlated with the return fluctuations of the index chosen to represent the market. R 2 represents the percentage of the portfolio's movements that can be explained by the general movements of the market. Index portfolios will tend to have values very close to 100. Standard deviation is an indicator of the portfolio's total return volatility, which is based on a minimum of 36 monthly returns. The larger the portfolio's standard deviation, the greater the portfolio's volatility. Market capitalization is the value of a corporation as determined by the market price of its issued and outstanding common stock. It is calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding shares by the current market price of a share. Price/book ratio (P/B) is the ratio of a stock's price to its book value per share. Price/earnings ratio is the ratio of the current price of a stock to an estimate of forward 12 month earnings; P/E ex-negatives ratio is an exposure-weighted average of the P/E ratios of the securities held in the fund, excluding companies with projected negative earnings. Turnover ratio is the percentage of a portfolio's assets that have changed over the course of a year. It is calculated by dividing the average assets during the period by the lesser of the value of purchases and the value of sales during the same period.

IMPORTANT RISK CONSIDERATIONS The fund may not achieve its objective and/or you could lose money on your investment in the fund. Stock markets and investments in individual stocks are volatile and can decline significantly in response to issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, and other conditions. Investments in growth companies can be more sensitive to the company's earnings and more volatile than the stock market in general. The fund's performance could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. Investments in the technology sector can be very volatile because of the rapid pace of product change, technological developments, and other factors. Please see the prospectus for further information on these and other risk considerations. MFS Fund Distributors, Inc. 1-800-225-2606 mfs.com Before investing, consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. For a prospectus, or summary prospectus, containing this and other information, contact your investment professional or view online at mfs.com. Please read it carefully.
